My Brain is Tired

It is the end of a busy day, and I am exhausted but satisfied. I have just sat through 5 consecutive hours of seminars, where everything from Polynesian cave burials to the history of archaeological thought was discussed. This place is amazing in so many ways, I feel as though I have become a sponge that can never seem to absorb enough information. The brilliance of the people around me is both humbling and inspiring. I am beginning to understand why people come to Cambridge and remain academics for the rest of their lives.
